Tiny Self Portrait as a Soldier

Years ago, I created a series of about nine cartes de visite… and, in need of a bit of levity, included a “serious” self portrait. For longer than I’ve been working with Civil War images, I have felt a connection to the soldier’s journey. The battlefield on Earth, living as a Spiritual being, is treacherous, oftentimes unfathomable. PTSD, “things that can’t be unseen,” loss, and eternal hope… all part of the war.
